A glimpse into the Quarticle team-building experience
This summer, our team hit the road from Arad to Dubrovnik, then on to Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In Mostar, we had the opportunity to represent Quarticle as both sponsors and attendees at FOSS4G Europe, which provided a great mix of learning, conversations, and connecting with the open-source GIS community.
TIL my long time favorite #geospatial app for off-line #OpenStreetMaps use, Organic Maps, seemingly started down the enshittification path, coming to a head a few months ago. The forked @CoMaps https://www.comaps.app/category/announcement/ looks like the direction forward. History repeats itself once again; sad.
De deadline to submit your proposal for a presentation at FOSS4G Belgium is extended to 8 august 2025. Talks can be given in English, French or Dutch.

Vector tiles for openstreetmap.org: Yesterday, the #OpenStreetMap Foundation (#OSMF) launched #vectortiles on #OSM, delivering a sharper and faster map powered by a new backend. Developers may use the OSMF-hosted tiles under the Vector Tile Usage Policy and apply their own map styles.

From Arad to Dubrovnik to Mostar - this summer’s team-building trip took us out of our routines and into new places, conversations, and experiences.
We stepped away from screens and sprint boards to connect in person, unwind as a team, and make a meaningful stop at FOSS4G Europe 2025 as sponsors and attendees.
